The site of Treetops Hospice Care is in the conservation area of Risley Village, and was formerly part of the grounds of Risley Hall, the home of Terah Hooley.

The hospice site was bought in 1986 and has welcomed day care guests since 1991. In July 2014, the new Clinical Support Centre, the Cheetham Centre, named after the founder Cally Cheetham was opened for bereavement care and counselling.

Planting around the buildings has been developed with the guests in mind, perennial borders welcome guests on arrival and now includes a rose garden and herbaceous borders. In Spring the grounds provide a riot of colour from 1000’s of daffodils and other spring flowers. The gardens, looked after entirely by volunteers, have been kept spacious with open aspects to allow an uplifting feeling.

The 12 acre site of woodland and grounds has been developed over the last 10yrs taking into consideration the needs and fundraising activities of the hospice. Raised wheelchair walkways allow guests to access the woodland areas plus a 20 minutes circular walk on bark chipped paths and raised walkways.

You will be warmly welcomed to the hospice’s grounds from 10.30am to 4pm on Saturday 29 April 2017. Admission is £3 per adult; children are free.

We will be serving refreshments including teas and coffees, cakes and light lunches. There will also be plant sales.

There is wheelchair access along raised walkways through part of the woods and along some tarmacked paths.
